We have been thinking of doing some longer touring in North America in an RV.

Something about just getting in the thing and pointing it in no particular direction that appeals to us.

Renting doesn't seem to make much sense, both because the units that are available for rental are often the worst rubbish, and because the day rates are more than the equivalent of good hotels.

So we thought of buying something used and reasonably nice—as the market is currently very good—and then reselling the thing, or not, depending on how much we enjoy the experience.

Since there are truly a bewildering array of manufacturers out there, I thought I'd ask here about what's good and bad, in particular what the good internet resources are for researching RV's further. Is there a PPOT equivalent for RV's for example?

Is there are guide that separates the high quality manufacturers from the guys that manufacture with plywood and nails?

Where to start?

We have not decided on a class. Probably want diesel. Need to sleep only two, but like a bit of room.

Any and all information from the brain trust will be gratefully received.
